Congrats! Looks great.
those wheels look glossy. Are they glossy?
My Bespoke wheels look more matte than these. Maybe I just have so much brake dust on mine(?)

Yes, they are gloss black. I had the matte wheels powered coated. The matte are fine, I just think the gloss makes it "pop" a little bit more.

Not sure if true, but the GM at the dealership told me it's the only Bespoke, yellow with white/blue interior in North America. All the others have black or caramel interior.

well its bespoke model right? so you customized the color combination.

The white interior was only released this year so all the other models dont have that possible combination. Im sure a lot of people would have done a similar combination if they had that option. Its absolutely gorgeous and totally reminds me of the 2019 coupe inspiration edition which had the flare yellow exterior but white interior w/ yellow inserts

At the detailing shop for full PPF. Man, they have the vehicle for almost a week. I’m having a bit of separation anxiety! But at the same time, I don’t want to rush them.

​​​​​​Would you mind post pictures of the rear bumper and hinge areas of the doors when done? I've committed to full front, pillars, and rockers, but was worried about it showing near the hinge and bumpers. I told them I don't want any panels removed (they agreed) and they said it'd be impossible to not show seams in those areas. Or are they taking panels off for you?

Are you doing the carbon roof too? I won't as I want to be able to mount my sea sucker for my bike on the roof and don't think PPF and those suction cups play nice.

Got the same USB coupe as you, due early July.

My Bespoke build does not have carbon fiber roof. It’s a glass roof. With black interior, it’s quite dark in there. Having the ability to expose the roof for some light helps especially more than half the year is cloudy here. So yeah, that will make our USB bespoke coupe(not the same) more rare. 😂
No panel is being removed. They will try their best between the panel gaps. Obviously for trunk, hood, doors, that can be opened, they will wrap around. With such small panel gaps, the edge of the film will not be able to go all the way. They will try their best.
They use computer cut out and extend the edges manually and cut the excess off after it’s applied. They did the full body PPF on my GSF and I was satisfied with it. Even though there was some edge of the film that was not tuck all the way into the gaps. They warranty their work of any peeling for 10 years or the life of the film. And to be honest, it’s a temporary protection for me. If I keep the car more than 10 years, the film will likely be replaced before that. I rather have them install the film correctly rather than trying to get in between the gaps and the film end up not sticking and I have to bring it back.
Dark colored cars are more forgiving on showing the film edges. You really have to look for it to see it between the panel gaps. I’m not that **** when it comes to imperfect edges. Again, it’s more of an insurance and I really hate the fine scratches when I wash the car. With PPF, I know it can be replaced. I do not like repainted vehicles.
I will post some pics when it’s done. They’re taking their sweet *** time as I’ve dropped off the vehicle on Monday and I have no real ETA except “the front is almost done”. I did ask for a level one paint correction before the PPF. This is not the first LC500 they’ve done so I’m hoping it’ll be fine. We have to be reasonable of what can be possible and the purpose of PPF.

Went to a little car meet and a spirited drive up to whistler. Im amazed at how capable our LC's are. It can easily hang with other sports cars with zero issues





Before you guys knock that little Yaris, this actually a JDM Vitz with a 1.5L turbo motor. That thing is pushing out 200hp on a tiny tiny little car. It was following us like it was bored... amazing performance
